Guest post on Bret Contreras’s blog!

Bret Contreras was nice enough to let me do a guest post for his blog! It’s about glute training and its relevance for powerlifters, both for improving in strength and preventing injuries.

For those of you who don’t know already, Bret’s a pretty big deal in the fitness industry. He’s pretty much solely responsible for increasing public awareness of the importance of glute training for preventing back and knee injuries and improving sports performance, He’s one of the few good eggs who doesn’t needlessly demonize people to profit off of controversy, and who only speaks where evidence or practice gives him license.

Here’s my guest post, and I’d suggest you follow his blog and spend some time perusing is. There’s a TON of good information in there.

We are certainly planning on doing more! Since the first one, I got married, honeymoon, we hosted the strength extravaganza, we moved back to school, and now I’m at a journalism conference in Anaheim. Those things have accounted for literally every weekend since the first webinar. Once things calm down a little bit, we will start them back up. We wanted to get the first one under our belt so we could try it out first when we were all in the same physical location.

Totally understand! I just wanted to voice my support, didn’t know how much positive feedback you got after the first one. I’m hoping to make it out to the next extravaganza too, so I’ll definitely be a follower.
